Coloured bath resurfacing for Burniston homes

Coloured bath resurfacing in Burniston, done in place

Most suites take one or two days. We resurface the bath, basin and tray in place, so there’s no plumbing or tiling. We are frequently asked to fix a dated coloured suite you’d like in white and faded or patchy colour, in whole bathroom suites, coloured basins and coloured shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Care for the new finish like a re-enamelled bath: mild cleaners and no suction mats.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • The inside of a toilet bowl, unless we’ve agreed it will last
  • Items cracked right through
  • Fittings and taps (these are masked, not recoloured)

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Coloured shower trays
  • Coloured basins
  • Whole bathroom suites
  • Avocado, pampas and pink baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

Resurfacing from £350. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your YO13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Burniston

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, so Burniston is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you work in Burniston?

We do. Technicians travel to Burniston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What about the toilet?

Ask us. A toilet bowl is constantly wet, so we will tell you what will last.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take one to two days for a full suite, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First we protect the bathroom and set up ventilation.
  2. Each item is cleaned, degreased and any chips repaired.
  3. The surface is prepared and primed.
  4. We spray the new white (or other colour) finish.
  5. Once cured, normally by the next day, the suite is ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
